It all about what you like and your ability to use what you have.
Right on. I get on a soapbox sometimes because some people start inventing reasons to shy away from HMPE materials, talking about broken bows and shortened bow lifespans, etc.
That being said - I guess B-50 is cheaper.
It is up-front for sure, but I don't know about in the long run. The HMPE materials are much tougher, but I couldn't say they will last twice or three times as long. On the flip side, strings are probably at the bottom of the list when it comes to expenses for our habit.
